I celebrated my 20th anniversary with Wife #1, Satan, just last August. I celebrated it with KYHillChick (#2 wife)-- couldn't have had a nicer time of it.

We visited the spot on the side of the road outside Sudbury, Ontario where Satan got in a snit on our honeymoon and demanded to be let out. There was nothing on the northern side of that road between her and the Arctic Circle, so a begged and pleaded for her to get back in the car. As I remember the source of the trouble, I had accidentally gone too long without feeding Satan, and she was getting cranky in want of lunch. Even though we stopped at a KFC along the road and she put down a sizeable amount of fried dead chicken and the attendant sides, that wasn't enough. She had decided to make me bleed, and after a sizeable amount of verbal abuse heaped on me, she had me stop the car and she got out. It took quite a bit of pleading to get hre back in the car and go on to our final destination, the honemoon suite at the Four Seasons in Ottowa.

I reminded her of that day when I announced our divorce, she was shoveling salad into that big puffy maw of hers when I said , "Do you remember how you asked to be let out of the car on our honeymoon? Well, I realize I made a terrible mistake that day not giving you your way. I should have left you there, and I am going to start right now attempting to remedy the situation." It at least made her stop eating her salad for a bit.

Anyhow, it was quite fun to have lunch at that KFC again, this time with Wife #2 as well as sons #2 and #3 and visiting the little turnout where I'd pulled the car over just down the road. It reminded me how much I have enjoyed marraige, once I finally found the right one with whom to share it.
